What to DoToday you are going to create a map of Canada. WIth your partners, you're each going to draw, color, and label two adjoining provinces and/or territories. The combinations are - British Columbia and the Yukon.
- Alberta and Northwest Territories
- Saskatchewan and Manitoba
- Nunavut and Newfoundland and Labrador
- Ontario
- Quebec
- New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island
How to Do It
- You need to figure out the dimensions of your region and draw it out.
- The scale for the 9A class is 30 km is equal to one centimetre.
- The scale for the 9C class is 26 km is equal to one centimetre.
- You should end draw out the region on the paper provided.
- You need to color the province appropriate colors.
- Green for forests.
- Red for fruit regions.
- Blue for water.
- Yellow/golden for farming areas.
- Locate and label the 10 largest population centres in your region. If your region has more than one province or territory, make sure that each province/territory has at least two places labelled.
- When everyone is done, we'll put these up on the wall and link your regions together to form a united map of Canada.
EvaluationSomehow I have to give you a mark, so here's how I'll do it. Is the project neat, tidy, and colorful? Is it something you want to look at or something that repels you?
| /2 | Does the project identify 10 significant population centers with at least two in each province/territory?
| /2 | Does the project have the farming, urban, forest and other areas appropriately colored?
| /2 | Did you work hard or did you let your group members carry the load for you? Were you in there doing your part?
